Orcish looters make frequent forays into neighbouring lands, pillaging and terrorizing any poorly defended settlements. With the advent of a new war they had been tasked with probing Gondor's defenses and harassing the elves of Mirkwood and Lorien, but now Sauron's conquests have taken them from their usual prowling grounds straight to the walls of Minas Tirith, Caras Galadhon, and beyond. Though their scavenged and improvised weapons and armour together with a lack of tactical sense for open warfare makes them unsuited for head on clashes with decently equipped and disciplined troops, inexperienced or overconfident commanders just might find their lines broken and overrun by the raiders' sheer numbers and beastly aggression.
